Just little 3 gal pots. 5 small holes in the bottom for drainage. No added perlite in these four. Going to let #4 grow naturally add I'd like to see it since I've only LST figured I got the room so I'll grow one out. Got the same pots for our portal grow but mixed my remaining promix and sunshine with some perlite and filled 3 pots.buying more soil and getting my heat issue fixed tomorrow. Boy this is about to be a hell of a next couple of months. 8 plants to care for and a new born baby due any time in next couple of weeks! Good stuff but going to b hectic. Might not b on quite as often. But everyday still lol
